    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the number of boys in class ‘M’ = 100x

    Then, number of girls in class ‘M’ = 0.80 × 100x = 80x

    Number of boys in class ‘N’ = 0.75 × 100x = 75x

    Total number of students in class ‘N’ = (100x + 80x) × (120/100) = 216x

    Number of girls in class ‘N’ = 216x – 75x = 141x

    Required ratio = (80x):(141x) = 80:141
